The universe established by puppet maestro Jim Henson in Labyrinth is about to expand thanks to a new TriStar film directed by Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead remake), reports Deadline.

Alvarez will co-write the story with Jay Basu (Monsters: Dark Continent). The pair wrote The Girl in the Spider’s Web, and upcoming continuation of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film series.

TriStar initially announced a sequel for Labyrinth in early 2016 with Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) writing (see “Sequel Planned For David Bowie's 'Labyrinth'”). Alvarez’s Labyrinth will not be a remake of the beloved Henson film, which starred David Bowie and a then-unknown Jennifer Connelly. It will be set in the universe that Henson established, and Bowie’s Goblin King will not make an appearance, making the new film more a spinoff than sequel. Casting has begun, and the film will start production this fall.
